Adventure Travel Ideas for the Family During Spring Break

This week my daughter came to me and announced
that, it was time to start planning for a spring break vacation. I thought
really. Already? She apparently needs a break from the rigors of school. Then
it occurred to me that I too need a break from the rigors of work and a little
R and R is just the ticket to rejuvenate the both of us. I asked her had she
thought of a few destinations that might be interesting and to my dismay; she
produced a list of places she’d like to go. I have to tell you I was impressed
that a 15 year old would take such initiative and put together a well thought
out and researched list of destinations. I guess she really is learning
something in school!

We are a family of RVers and campers. We enjoy
adventure travel and the great outdoors and to that end, most of the
destinations on her list fell into the camping arena. Whether we rent a
vacation home or RV, we like the homey feel of having our own things along with
us. Not to mention if we left my daughters four legged BFF behind she’d have a
fit! While my daughters list was extensive, I choose a few places that I
thought would be a great deal of fun and thought I would share them with you.

Kissimmee and Orlando, FL

While we live in Miami Florida, we have never
been to this part of the state. Like most children, my daughter was excited
about going to Walt Disney World, Epcot Center and Universal Studios. After a
little research of my own, I discovered that this part of Florida has some of
the best RV parks in the country, all within a couple of miles from the main
attractions. At less than $30, a day to rent an RV site this destination made
the top of the affordable vacation list.

Stone Mountain Park, GA

I was surprised to see this destination on the
list. Not your typical kid destination but then again my daughter is no typical
kid. I think what really attracted her to this destination was the very cool
Swiss type cable car that takes you to the summit of Stone Mountain. From the
top, (a mere 825 feet above ground) you have an incredible view of Confederate
Memorial Carving.

Grand Canyon, AZ

Believe it or not, this adventure travel
family has never seen the Grand Canyon. It’s hard to believe that this natural
wonder has never made the list of places to vacation. RV parks are plentiful
here and certainly offer all of the conveniences of home but with a spectacular
view. Something that we are both interested in seeing is the impressive
Skywalk. The Skywalk projects out some 70 feet above the canyon and features a
glass floor. Talk about adventure!

Well with all of these destinations, I’m sure
we will be able to find something incredible to do. I think I’ll put my
daughter in charge of the family vacation planning because she did a fantastic
job!
